We knew Marshall always had the world against him, but we didn’t know that Suge Knight was gunning for him until now. Full story from Em’s former Bodyguard after the jump.
Big Naz, Eminem’s former bodyguard, details the encounter below at the 2001 Source Awards when Em was surrounded by Bloods sent by Suge Knight:
“We were at The Source Awards and we all know historically in the past, The Source Awards, someone always got shot. That was our first encounter with Suge Knight and his henchman. Em was going to his seat. The way they had the seating was all messed up and the bodyguards couldn’t sit with the artists. I think that was by design ’cause I think they really wanted the artists to be able to network with each other, but it also gives people who got beef with other artists to get at them.”
“He’s beefing with all these guys in these red shirts. So I come from where I was at, I had to come back around, I noticed Em’s face changing, he’s turning like tomato red. There’s a sea of red guys around him. I had to bust through the middle man and snatch him up. Like, ‘Hey man what the hell’s going on up here?’ This is exactly what they said, ‘Death Row, motherfucker, Death Row.’”
